Pass It On
We are so proud of our second grade poets for a fantastic evening full of poetry! Students practiced everyday leading up to the event. Second graders practiced having a calm body, speaking loudly, enunciating their words, and making eye contact with the audience! Students chose which poem they wanted to read out loud and which poems they wanted to add to TCS’s Pass It On 2025 book. We hope you all enjoy this year’s Pass It On book! We love how courageous, confident, creative, inspiring and determined this second grade class is!
A Bird’s Home
This week, students are diving even deeper into finding information about their birds. Each day the excitement grows to show family and friends all of the research they have been doing and all the hard work they have been putting in. Second graders are researching birds that are native to the Charleston area, however they are learning about where to find the nests and locations of these birds. Students are learning about the type of nests their birds make, and even found that some birds take other birds’ nests. This is just another big leap for second graders to learn about the process of research and presenting.
Bird Comics
Second graders have completed their non-fiction story about an experience they had with a bird. Students were asked to write about a time that they saw a bird in nature or had an encounter with a bird. After writing, second graders separated their story into three parts – a beginning, middle and an end making sure each part had lots of details about their bird, setting, and event in the story. Students then illustrated each part of their story. The goal of each illustration was to tell the story through their illustrations. To finalize their illustrations students added a title and speech bubbles to help tell their story. We cannot wait to share second graders’ bird comics with you during their bird study presentation!
